FRIED PIROSHKI RECIPE (SAVORY BELYASHI)
Piroshki (Piroshky) is a street food favorite that Russians and Ukrainians buy when shopping at a flea market (Bazaar.) This piroshki recipe is made from a yeast-filled dough then shaped into a hand-sized pie and fried to perfection! We love them with this mashed potato with liver filling!

Steps:
- To make the dough: combine the wet ingredients into a bowl of a stand mixer, followed by the dry ingredients. Knead the dough for 3 minutes. Let rise until doubled (30-45 minutes.)
- To make the filling: Saute the onion in 3 Tbsp of oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Set aside. Boil the liver in a quart of water for 20 minutes. Drain and run through a meat grinder with the sauteed onion mixture (or chop in a food processor.) Stir into the mashed potatoes.
- To Shape Piroshki: transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into a 34" long log and cut into 1-inch slices.
- Slightly flatten dough piece and fill with 1 Tbsp of filling. Fold and pinch the edges shut. Place onto a floured tray.
- Fry the Piroshki for 2-3 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve Warm!

Steps:
- To make the dough, in a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast and salt.
- Add vegetable oil and water and mix until smooth. (If dough is too dry, add more water a little bit at a time until dough smooth and soft. Also, if the dough is too wet, add a little bit more flour.)
- Coat the dough with a little bit of vegetable oil and place it back in the bowl. Cover with damp kitchen towel and place it in a warm place to rise, for about 30-60 minutes. (I put it in a microwave with a glass of hot water. Don't turn on the microwave.)
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium high heat.
- Add the meat, garlic and salt. Cook the meat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until cooked through. Transfer into a large bowl and mix it with rice.
- Once the dough is doubled in size, take it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth ball, 1-2 minutes. Lightly flatten the dough ball into a disk, and divide into 12 equal parts as you slice a pizza. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- To make the hand pies, take a piece of dough and flatten it with your hands. Put the filling in the center and fold the dough in half. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal, creating a half moon. Then gently flatten it between your palms, making sure the sealed crimps are on flat side. (If it's not clear, check out the photos above.)
- Once all the hand pies are formed, heat 1-inch oil in a large skillet, or dutch oven. (Tip: You don't need a thermometer to fry these savory hand pies. Simply drop the end of a wooden spoon into heated oil, and if it's bubbling up around the wood, that means the oil is ready for frying!)
- To cook the hand pies, drop 4 hand pies in the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook until it's nice and golden. Remove into a bowl, lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil. Continue with the remaining batch.
- Serve piroshki warm or at room temperature.

RUSSIAN BEYLISHI
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large fry pan and when the oil glistens add the meat. As the meat cooks break up the large clumps with a wooden spoon.
- Once the meat is cooking, stir well and sprinkle with the garlic powder, pepper and half of the salt. Stir again.
- When meat is close to being cooked add the carrots and onions and continue to cook until the onions are soft. About 10-15 minutes total.
- Now, remove the belyashi meat filling from the stove and stir in the mayo, dill and stock. Once blended, taste and adjust seasoning as required.
- Set aside for use later and allow the filling to come to room temperature.
- Dissolve your fresh yeast in half the warm water or if using active yeast, it should be proofed per manufactures recommendations. If using instant yeast, add to you flour and salt.
- Mix your drys, flour, salt and instant yeast if using in the mixing bowl.
- Combine your wets, yeast (not instant), water and oil.
- Next, using a stand or hand mixer with bread hook, combine your drys (flour and salt) and your wets (yeast, water and oil). Mix at a low speed until the dough bowl comes clean from the mixing bowl. (see note 1)
- After pausing, knead the bread at low speed for an additional 3-5 minutes. If the belyashi dough appears too wet or dry, adjust with flour (for wet) or water (for dry) remix until blended well.
- Put your belyashi dough in a large bowl (about 3 time larger than the dough), cover with oiled plastic wrap. Set the bowl in a warm place free of drafts and rowdy kids. I place mine on top of the oven or close by. Let dough rise until it has 2 to 2-1/2 times it's original size. This should take about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
- Once the belyashi dough has risen, gently deflate the dough. Next, using a plastic scraper (or spatula) work the dough in the bowl into a roughly shaped ball and roll out on a flour dusted work counter. (see note 2)
- On a floured surface, roll the belyashi dough into the shape of a log about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Using a bread scrapper, cut the dough into pieces about 3/4″. If using a scale (see note 2), weigh the piece of dough and adjust a needed. If not weighing, just mark off twenty equal pieces and cut. Weighing does produce more uniform hand pie.
- Using your fingers, on a floured surface, stretch out the belyashi dough to form a circle about 3 to 4 inches roughly the same thickness. (see note 3)
- Next, place a heaping tablespoon of the cooled Belyashi filling in the center of the stretched dough. Stretch and fold the dough over and seal the edges by pinching the dough.
- Now, gently flatten the belyashi in to a round flat shape.
- Place enough cooking oil (I used sunflower) so as to have at least half of the belyashi submerged. Next, heat your cooking oil to 330° F (165°C).
- Gently place the belyashi, seam side down in the heated oil. Be careful here, we don't want any burns! (see note 4)
- Continue to cook until the bottom is golden brown (use tongs to lift, check and turn). Ounce they are brown, again gently turn and cook the other side.
- When the belyashi are done, place them on a rack to drain or on paper towels.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. For food safety's sake, don't leave out of refrigeration for more than a couple of hours once cooled.
- The belyashi is traditionally served with a garlic dip (Vmochanka). Mix all ingredients well and and serve.
- You can use an immersion blender for a really emulsified dip.

MEAT PIROSHKI (BELYASHI)
Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Brown ground beef and turkey, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula. Season meat with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/ tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
- When the meat is almost done, add diced onion and saute 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add shredded carrots and saute another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 3 tbsp dill, mix well.
- Add mayo, stir well.
- Stir in 1/2 cup water to moisten the meat mix. Transfer meat mix to a bowl and let cool to warm or room temperature.
- The easiest way to do this is in a bread maker. If you have one, set it to the dough setting and add the ingredients in the following order: Oil, water, 2 cups flour, salt, 2 cups + 2 Tbsp flour, yeast. A bread maker will do the following: mix, let dough rise, mix again and let the dough rise (It takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours) and once it's done in the bread maker, its ready to go.
- You can also make this dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook on speed 2(mix all the ingredients together, let rise, mix again and then let it rise in a warm place (like the oven). (It should be 2 to 2 1/2 times in volume). While it's rising, work on the meat filling for piroshki - see below.
- Put the finished dough onto a well floured cutting board, dust the dough with flour and with well-floured hands, shape it into a large log.It will rise more as you make the piroshki.
- Cut off pieces one at a time about 3/4″ thick.
- Place the piece of dough over your well-floured hand (dough will be sticky) and shape it into a 3″ to 4″ circle using your hands. Do not put flour on the side where you are going to put the meat, otherwise the sides won't seal.
- Stir the meat mix to distribute the juices. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of meat filling in the center.Cover the meat with the sides of the dough (being careful not to let oils or juices seep out), and pinch the edges together to seal the dough. Flatten the pirojki slightly to make them a more uniform size.
- Heat oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron dutch oven. There should be enough oil to cover the pirojki half-way up the side.
- Place them in the hot oil (about 330° F) and fry until deep golden brown on each side. Sometimes they puff up a lot on one side so you may end up with a third side that needs to be fried.
- Place on paper towels to cool and enjoy!

Steps:
- Place 1/2 cup milk in a cup or small bowl. Stir in sugar and sprinkle yeast over the top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Pour the remaining milk into a large bowl.
- Add the melted butter, egg, salt and 1 cup of flour to the large bowl with the milk. Stir in the yeast mixture. Mix in flour 1 cup at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and doesn't stick to your hands. Cover the bowl loosely and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour. Dough should almost triple in size.
- While you wait for the dough to rise, melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage has wilted. Mix in the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. Set this aside for the filling.
- Place the risen dough onto a floured surface and gently form into a long snake about 2 inches wide. Cut into 1 inch pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten the balls by hand until they are 4 to 5 inches across. Place a spoonful of the cabbage filling in the center and fold in half to enclose. Pinch the edges together to seal in the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line one or two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place the pirozhki onto the baking sheet, leaving room between them for them to grow.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in water and let stand 10 minutes. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Make a well in flour and add milk, egg, oil and yeast. Combine to make a soft dough. Knead about 10 minutes. Let rise one half hour to one hour.
- Brown chopped onion and garlic. In separate pan, brown ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, garlic and onion. Cool meat mixture and remove solidified fat.
- Pinch a golf-ball sized piece of dough, flatten with fingers or roll out to 1/8" thickness. Place 2 Tbsp filling in center and bring opposite edges of circle together. Pinch securely. (The traditional shape is a plump center with tapering ends.).
- Let piroshkis rise seam side down, 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350. Brush with egg and bake until golden brown (approx 20 min, it depends on the size). The piroshky may also be deep fried.
- Ed. Note: I also like to add about 1 cup cheese sauce powder (sometimes found in bulk food stores) to the meat mix. I find it gives a slightly cheesy taste. If I do that, I omit the salt.

TAYLOR'S PIROSHKI
These are as authentic Russian as you can get without traveling to Russia. I received the recipe from my Russian language teacher in high school and have been making them ever since. The kids like them too! They take a little time to roll out - but then doesn't anything 'authentic' take a little time?

Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned; drain. Stir in the onion and cook with the beef until translucent. Sprinkle in salt, pepper and dill weed to taste. Allow to cool before using.
- Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup of warm water and place in a warm location until frothy, about 10 to 15 minutes. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and gently whisk in the eggs, oil, sugar and salt. Remove from heat.
- Place half the flour in a large mixing bowl and gradually stir in the milk mixture. Then add the yeast solution alternately with the remaining flour, stirring after each addition. Mix well. Knead until the dough forms a ball and does not stick to the bowl. (Note: Start with the 4 cups of flour. You may need to add more, a little at a time, as you knead the dough). Cover the bowl with a clean cloth. Set in a warm location and allow to rise until doubled in volume.
- Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Pinch off pieces approximately the size of golf balls. Roll the pieces into disks about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter.
- Fill center of each disk with a heaping tablespoon of the cooled meat mixture. Fold disks over the mixture and firmly pinch edges to seal. Arrange on a flat surface and allow to sit approximately 10 minutes.
- In an large, heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep fry the piroshki in batches until golden brown on one side; gently turn and fry the other side. Remove and let drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
